September 8, 2014Video: ‘Healah Dancing’ by Keaton Henson

Singer-songwriter Keaton Henson put out the gorgeous surprise release ‘Romantic Works‘ this summer, but he’s not finished amazing us. His most recent work is the beautiful video for “Healah Dancing,” taken from ‘Romantic Works,’ which he co-directed.

The video stars dancer and actor Matthew Rees, who interestingly joined the ballet just before he was about to enlist in the army. Cast specially by Henson, Rees said the song suggested to him “the heartache and frustration of losing someone you couldn’t live without.” This intense emotional focus is the heart of the video.

Henson is currently working on a full-length ballet with choreographer Iván Pérez as well as his third solo album.
